A good issue and back to its traditional November spookiness. Alan Murdie's Ghostwatch returns too, yea.
 
An excellent issue all round; Visions and Visionaries Pt II by the Hierophant's Apprentice is FT at its very best and GLPs review of the Enfield polt thought provoking. Good work all round.
 
Mines got here too. Now I just need time to read it.
 
I don't think I'm ever going to get it :(

Magazines are always the first victims of postal strikes where I am :(
 
Mine arrived on Tuesday, only had time for a quick glance through.
 
Ours arrived on Monday but I've been too busy to look at it.
 
I haven't had time to read mine yet but I'm taken by the photograph of the World Champion Custard Skin-Eater on the front cover ;)
 
Al Murray ("Pub Landlord" comedian) has his latest issue, he mentioned it on the Jonathan Ross radio show this morning. You can't buy that kind of publicity.
 
Does the Harry Price article have any Gef content? And if so, how much Gef content? A passing mention? A sidebar? A glossy pullout Gef section?
 
*calls down from crack in ceiling*
Nowt much on the Gef front - just a sentence or two.
 
Interesting couple of letters:

1 from Ian Peters arguing that nobody in england ever spoke a celtic language

t'other from Andrew Gray about what language was spoken in SE Scotland

some articles that may be of interest:

Anyone fancy starting a debate on this - not sure what's the best place for it?
 
My copy finally arrived! Let us rejoice at that news.

Haven't had much of a chance to delve into it, but I like the IHTM about China being invaded by space aliens.
 
229 hit Seattle via subscription yesterday. I'm not sure I got 228 at all. Hmmm.
 
It seemed like a rather routine issue covering some rather well trodden ground. The Harry Price / Ectoplasm articles told me nothing I couldn't have read in my back issues of The Unexplained. On the plus side, I found the piece about laughing epidemics fascinating.

Both the Forum pieces seemed rather pointless, though.
 
I thought it was a rather curious oversight/omission that in the article lamenting the demise of the Weekly World News there was no mention that they (American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, FL) were of course the location of the index case in the 2001 anthrax attacks...
